Answer:

Roy is 10 years old at present and Joan is 5 years old at present

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> Roy's age

y----> Joan's age

we know that

x=2y ----> equation A

(x+3)+(y+3)=21 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

(2y+3)+(y+3)=21

solve for y

3y+6=21

3y=21-6

3y=15

y=5 years

Find the value of x

x=2y  ----> x=2(5)=10 years

therefore

Roy is 10 years old at present

Joan is 5 years old at present
